Getting water in Nevada

[headead]

We have two RVs which already come with 50 gallons on board, and we also have 2 50 gallon barrels for drinking etc. The problem is that we don't want to carry the weight from San Francisco to Nevada, so I was hoping to stop somewhere in Nevada and fill up the two barrels if possible.

Any suggestions on how to do this ?

thanks!

Just search for RV dump stations, many of which will also have water. Most Flying J truck stops have water spigots that you can use to hook up a hose. I have filled up my camper and a lot of water jugs at the Flying J in Winnemucca the last two years.

Do you get the JRS? There is a water fill up in Gerlach. It has limited hours but that is the closest place to fill that I know of.

Google is your friend and radical reliance and all that...

Except there is likely to be a huge clusterfuck trying to get water in Gerlach.
I also don't like the idea of waiting for the very last opportunity to get my water. What if that plan fails?

There are quite a few places on the list - it's just that the Gerlach place is closest, and with that amount of water weight it might be worth waiting in a line for a bit. The poster will have to decide...

Thank you!

I called up a Flying J and that will probably work

Hopefully someone else can find this thread useful as well

You can also check Fresca Waterhouse in Sparks, they do RVs and barrels and the like (http://www.frescawaterhouse.com/)

Before arriving at BRC, I overnight-ed at a motel in Fernley so that I could rest and arrive at the gate just after the break of dawn.

Not wishing to tow an additional 200 lbs. all the way from Mississippi, I requested and the desk clerk loaned me the tool that opened the outside water spout and I used the 5' section of garden hose that I brought along to fill my 5-5 gal. water containers.

I have used this procedure many times over the years and no motel that I was ever staying at has ever refused this request.

I used to advise not to get water in Fernley. Ignore any old posts on that. The good news is that Fernley got a whole new water treatment plant to remove the naturally occurring arsenic in the tapwater about five years ago.

We glamped with water. MECO provided a big tank of potable water, we shared with everyone we could, hydrated RobbiDobbs, and still had some leftover. Yeah MECO!!!

KOA campground in Boomtown. Nicest folks going and I filled 2each 55 gallon drums plus my trailer for $10.00. And the dump on the way back is the same. They love Burners too.
